Subtitle: My countrymen and fellow-citizens, The day is at length arrived, in which we must determine to live as freemen--or as slaves, to linger out a miserable existence. The tea-ship will, in all probability, be in a few hours at anchor in our harbour; and unless we exert ourselves against the introduction of her cargo, it will be landed; and if landed, it will be made use of, as a precedent of right to enslave our country to all eternity. ...
